Do you happen to know where that was, Ron? I did a search and couldn't find anything.

I was hoping to get a Dexa Scan done this month but with this happening....never mind I'll wait another year or three.

It was one of those state of the virus articles that was about multiple states. I cannot find it now but did find your States virus dashboard and it does not look good!

I had to laugh when I got a card in the mail about scheduling a tooth cleaning!

I can wait LOL!

Defragmenting, or defraging, your computer should be done once a month. Start this before you go to bed, leaving the computer on. It can take a long time, especially if you don't do it on a regular basis. Why, and what does it do? When you go to a lawyer, they pull your file folder from their filing system, and give it to your lawyer. When you're done with your consult, the folder is put on a table. A clerk comes along, looks inside the folder for notes on further actions to be taken, then gives the instructions to the appropriate party. Once that's done, the file is returned to it's place in the filing system. Your computer is like a huge filing system.

Many of the files on your computer overlap when you use them. When you close a program, it does not put all the files back where they should go. Over time, it makes your computer run slower, since it has to sort through so many files to find the ones it needs. Defragmenting, or defraging, is the computer's way of putting all the files back into their place in the filing system. That way, your computer doesn't have to work so hard, and long, to find the ones they need.

To run the Defrag program in Windows 10: Click Start in the lower left corner. Scroll down to Windows Administrative Tools, then click to open. Scroll down to Defragment and Optimize Drives, then click. A small window will pop up, and your drive letters will be listed. Highlight your main drive (usually C) then click the Optimize button. Let it run until it's done. Yes, it can take hours, if it hasn't been done in a long time. If you have more than 1 drive, when the first one is done, click on the next, and optimize it. Continue until all your drives are defragmented, and optimized.

I used to do this all the time but every time I check now, the drives are not fragmented. This pc has a solid state drive and it said it had been trimmed two days ago and was fine.

Win 10 does this automatically. Mac does too. If I had a large second drive for gaming it might be a different story though!

Well CARP! Thanks Ron. I knew we were having a surge but not expecting that. I know our county has picked up 5 in just three days.

Harvested the Oaxacan corn. It's got the most amazing hues of deep jade, teal, forest green and lime. Don't know that I'll plant it again, though. I *really* like the Maize Morado for flavor and the unique royal purple hue of the baked goods.

I keep thinking I should downsize my garden. Then I think about all the awesome varieties of rare corns I could grow... Then I think of where I could expand my garden...lol. They are a couple I'd like to try .

I had my mammogram late. Usually I get scheduled pretty quickly after I call for appt. I think maybe they were shut down for awhile because of covid fears. You can't social distance and get a mammogram.

The positivity rate is bad on that dashboard. 10% is high. here it has to get into the 2 or 3% to get out of the red tier

[sourland]

Do self checks, and go get your mammograms soon. I pray the results are negative, however, if something is going on, the sooner you catch it, and deal with it, the better. I say that from experience.
